Solar Power Should be Offered Cheaply in Haiti

By

To the editor,

I think solar power should be offered cheaply in Haiti to help local residents get electricity.

Over years solar power has become more popular and a commonly used resource to create electricity in many homes. Solar power is a natural and efficient way to create electricity by the use of sunlight.

Using solar power has already been proven to work and is an environmental friendly way to create electricity, meaning it will not harm plants and animals.

Haiti is already in poverty and having solar power offered cheaply would be a great help amongst the Haitian citizens. The World Bank stated that only one in three Haitian residents can obtain access to electricity, that is only 40% of Haiti’s population, meaning more than half of the population suffers with no electricity.

This natural and efficient way of creating electricity can change many of the Haitian citizens lives. Solar power being offered cheaply won’t only benefit the people, but also the wildlife by using safe, harmless environmental friendly resources.
